Chuck E Cheese Adventure

We spent $40 and a good 2 hours. It was good family fun!

StoryTime Wes

For thanksgiving family came to play with us and eat with us for 5 hours. We ate, watch parts of star war, went to the park, and play some more. W really likes being told stories and likes to create his own story. It was a great birthday present for me.

Massage Birthday

Went to get a $40 massage at massage cabin provo. Then went to see 007 Spectre with B. Had Olive garden for dinner from student parent gift.

Feeling Loved

Trains and School

Kids at daycare

A's favorite phrase: "and, then...and, then" as she is trying to tell me what happend in her day.

Community

Going back to work is like being back to society.

Today my old teaching partner came to give me my early b day gift. A bag full of apples and a jar of caramel.  He is extremly kind to me. Same guy who gave me 500 to spend on listening center for kids.

Feeling blessed.

Fun things!

W sees an interacial couple on wedding card, he asked Bryce.  "dad is that when you were born?"

Apparently, my kids think you are us.

Mr. Big

W is 4 years and 3 months old, he too is progressing as he should be.

He knows many of his letters, letter sounds, and now we are learning sight words from computer school.  He can tell me what he did at Ms.Linda's school, and often negotiate his needs and wants.

Mama's Girl

Love how my baby girl demands a kiss from me before I leave her at daycare. She ordered, "mama, a kiss" And then I can leave.

She is now 2 years and 2 months old, she knows a lot of words such as "bottom, help you, what the hecky, building ready yet?, loves when I joke to her.

I love how she is so in tune with the feelings of others. The other night when she saw me sobbed while watching a show, she kept hugging me and giving me kisses.

My baby is getting so big!

Fall Fun

Bury each other in leaves

Ha!

Fun day today. We had Byu visitors, state visitors, and cascade elementary teachers. One whom I used to sub for.. fun now he is visiting my class.

Pick up the kids around 5:30 and we came home and made ginger bread cookies. They loved it.

Tales from Pre-School Version A

Me: A what did you do at school today?

A: Circle time.

Me: Who are your friends?

A: Emma and Nico.

Vocabulary growing like a weed, speaking in sentences.

For example, drive past homeless person, she asked: "What happend?" More aware of her surrounding.

Back to Friday

Today I worked from 6-6pm. Yes I conisider my babies work. W woke up at 6:30 and we left home an hour later. THey stay at daycare for 8-5pm. I love my job dearly and had to get things done, especially not having to work yesterday. My american co workers don't understand that, because they think I am sick and should go home. But instead, I would be alone with 2 whining, screaming kids 4 and under. I did take them to mcdonalds for dinner and gross that there appraently was poop in the slide. yuck!

Bry 's plane delay in Mexico, may come back tomorrow.

Surprise! Second absence of week

Today I took the day off to rest my voice. Kids were at daycare from 8-4pm. I did yard work (rake leaves), clean house (funny it looks like I didn't clean it), watch mind numbing tv and cooked corn chowder for supper. Kids liked it. It is a cold day, we even had snow in the morning.

My voice is better but still raspy. Going to work tomorrow.

8:41am

So I am now home from taking the kids to daycare. I was going to keep them in a little longer but W wanted what he always did in the morning. It's their routine. Just like my students, even when I'm not there they know what we do each day and what to expect next.

I am sick with laryngitis. Yesterday, worked the whole day with just whispering to the kids, and the kids were real good.  Today just chilling at home. Get some cleaning and cooking done. B will come back late night tomorrow. Kinda miss the guy, a lot.

At work, I help organized Randy's b day celebration, apprently no one did it for him last year, but this year with me on board, I had enlisted helpers to bring treats for both building. He said for his 60th he went and done 60 acts of service, and don't count the ones that people ask. I just think that is the coolest thing. I think I will seriously consider doing that for my 40th.

Three words A

A: Gong Gong give me house (doll house)

Doc said she should be able to produce 2 word sentences, she is  producing 4 words.

Back to work

Without a voice. My energy level was low for teaching today and by the end of day, my voice was virtually gone. My students had a lot of quiet time today. My own babies have electronic time. What you gonna do, when the main caregiver is sick...

Maximize Monday Off

I took the day off to run errands and spend time with kids. Here is what we did.

We went to 5 places today. First we went to their doctor's appt. glad there was another doctor available. Then, we went to get prius serviced and ate at mcdonalds. Next, dropped them off at Ms.Linda (I had 2 hour break, walked Sadie, take a nap, go get flu shot). Last, met Gong at Lehi and took all to Curiosity museum. Forgot my camera but it was entertaining for $40 (15 adult, 12 child, 12 senior). Came home at 6:45pm. We ate, took a bath, and tv time. It is 8:41 and all is quiet.
B is in Mexico until Friday night. It is extra hard because I am under the weather. Hope my voice come back tomorrow.
